What does your typical day of eating look like? I'm getting

I used to have a boiled egg in the morning or porridge oats made with water.
I used to eat both but i have now cut down to one or the other. good thing about either is its brain food, lots of protein and energy from both. And only takes 10 mins in a sausepan of boiling water. (for the egg) and 1min 30 for the porridge x Hope this helps. also i add a banana midmorning or even for breakfast to stay me xx

My diary is open if you want to take a peek....I'm not a super busy person but I am running around like crazy in the a.m. getting myself, my husband and three kids out the door while managing to cook a hot breakfast and prepare lunch and snacks for the day. I also eat a lots of little meals throughout the day.

Two giant meals usually, and a mid day small one: breakfast a couple eggs poached and pile of smoked salmon, and fruit; dinner some kind of meat or fish, 2-3 veg and a salad of mixed greens, pepper, cucumber, tomato & vinaigrette. Mid day is can of sardines and mixed greens with balsamic vinegar, or proscuitto wrapped melon, or homemade soup or the like. Not a snacker.

Lately I've been eating like crap and just working out a ton to make up for it. My typical day for the past few weeks has been:

-Roll w/butter and coffee for breakfast

-Slice of pizza for lunch

-Whatever I cook my family for dinner which is usually stewed, grilled, or stir-fry chicken breast with a little white rice and a ridiculously huge serving of veggies.

I bought a $4 omelet maker on Amazon a while back. Best bang for the buck EVER. Basically, you pour your egg mix in there, whether it's real and mixed up with your ingredients or egg whites or egg substitute (I use substitute), then you close it and nuke it for 1 min 30 seconds. Fastest, easiest omelet EVER.

I put a wedge of laughing cow cheese in my omelet. Freaking delicious and the omelets I make are rarely over 70 calories, which frees up a lot of room for fruit

normally 66g porridge oats, 250mls soya milk, 2 teaspoons brown sugar and 20g strawberry jam. i have a sweet tooth, but that meal fills me up for a couple of hours and sees me through a 3mile run at lunchtime.

I like to make egg "muffin" cups on Sunday night then keep them in the fridge to grab and go throughout the week.

Egg Muffin Cups
*app. 10 eggs
*app 3/4 c of your choice of meat (I prefer ham but turkey sausage is ok, too. The ham seems more flavorful.)
*app 3/4 c of your choice of veggies. I use onion with green and red peppers. I chop both peppersas well as the onion at the same time and also extra ham so that I can freeze some. I make three batches from this and freeze. When you want to use the frozen packs just thaw a little bit (not too much or the peppers get mushy) and add the eggs. I use 1/3 of each pepper and an equal amount of onion for each batch.

Put equal amounts of the meat and veggie mixture in each well of a muffin pan. Then scramble the eggs with a bit of milk and any seasonings you want. Pour into the cups over the meat and veggies. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Store in the fridge, microwaving for about 45 seconds when you are ready to eat.

I usually skip breakfast. If not, I have oatmeal with brown sugar, then some soup for lunch. I save most calories for dinner when I am hungriest.
A huge pile of greens like rapini or broccoli (big like a bale of hay), some squash instead of a starch, and 7-8 oz of a protein like salmon or tofu.

my food diary is open, I do smoothies w/plain nonfat greek yogurt (which is less sugar then regular yogurt), I also do oatmeal w/fresh fruit and nuts added (very filling.) Some mornings I do scrambled eggs and turkey bacon w/ a serving of fresh fruit. I am very busy, work full-time, taxi 2 kids around and usually take my breakfast, snacks and lunch with me to work. The only meal I eat at home is dinner. Do you have a microwave at work? My office has one, so I try to make an extra serving at dinner each night and take left overs for lunch the next day to avoid getting stuck in the sandwich/salad rut.

For breakfast, i try to keep it to either dairy & fresh fruit or protein protein protein because I typically am a carb lover and will choose them over anything else then end up feeling all draggy at the end of the day.

My favs are Non-Fat Greek Yogurt w/1/4 c. fresh blueberries & 7 or 8 sliced strawberries; Steel Cut Oats w/unsweetened almond milk, soybutter and chocolate protein powder; egg whites with sliced, sauteed zucchini & extra lean turkey bacon.

I also like to make sure that if I am having carbs, they are low in sodium (and my protein too for that matter) and that my carb choices have lots of fiber - like grapefruit or fiber specific 'bars'

im super busy in the morning with four kids and i do a chocolate protein shake made with skim milk super yummy...... i use 20 oz skim milk and two scoops body fortress chocolate protein powder and im usually full until around noon when i usually have a sandwhich or salad then i have whatever the family is have for dinner just smaller portions.... and lots of fluids.... just because your losing weight and watching what you eat there is no reason you have to give up all the good foods too... i still eat oreos and all that too. just now i have four oreos instead of the whole package... and i dont do soda anymore, the carbonation actually upsets my stomach... i do alot of tea, gatorade and water

I love breakfast!

I generally eat one of the following:

protein shake

porridge oats soaked overnight in a non fat yogurt heated in microwave for one minute then add lots of berries

1 slice wholemeal bread with scrambled eggs & mushrooms

wholemeal bagel with poached eggs & salmon slice (more of a weekend dish)

I find that yogurt & fruit do not fill me up enough for a meal on their own so I add them to wholmeal carbs or eat as snacks.

I was also going to suggest the muffin cups. it is a good way to get a decent breakfast with little prep on the day of.

My typical day is:

Breakfast: Hardboiled egg (that I make on Sunday's for the whole week) or scrambled eggs with cheese and ham.

snack- either wheat thins, yogurt, fiber one bar or pretzels with nutella

Lunch- either tuna (with hardboiled egg and mustard on rye bread) or leftover chicken from the night before with veggies.

Dinner- usually baked chicken of some sort and 2 veggies. We don't do carbs at dinner time, unless we have fruit.

snack: usually fruit

My diary is open feel free to look-- though please excuse all the easter candy lol that isnt usual

I eat steel cut oats most mornings. I like mine with either pumpkin or banana. You can make it in big batches and reheat it.
